Cupid and a woman share the front of this Valentine's Day greeting card, a pairing that reflects how the holiday's imagery drew on classical myth by the early twentieth century. Cupid, the Roman god of desire, was a natural choice for a card meant to express affection, and printers often combined him with lace, roses, and sentimental verse. Cards like this were mass-produced and exchanged widely, so they offer a useful window into the everyday language of romance and the popular taste of their time.
